  @AOLSupportHelp it’s insanity that I’ve been trying to cancel my DEAD grandfather’s account for TWO YEARS and am still having the worst experience ever. ABSOLUTELY horrific and abysmal way to treat a grieving family. $720 worth of charges and the WORST representatives

  @RetroTechDreams Would play the **** out turret defense custom games in this with AOL dial up internet. Then I'd end up disconnecting from games due to my sisters unplugging the internet to use the phoneline to call up boys. Good times.

  @Nasdaq @SpaceX Getting in on SpaceX 🚀 today is like getting in on the railroad industry in the late 1800s. Or, it could be like getting in on dotcom craze in the late 90s. I’m thinking back on AOL, WorldCom, Mindspring, and COVAD. Then there are always those Captains of tech like Kodak, and Motorola. Who eventually died on the vine because they just couldn’t keep up. Their boards were old and myopic and just couldn’t conceive of a future, other than what they were already doing. But $SPCX though. 🤔 Sometimes you just have to say, “what ********” and lay down a hundred grand, cross your fingers, and hope the best for the future. And the future for the next hundred years is going to be the exploration of technologies and space that we can’t even comprehend today. It won’t be easy, it won’t be slick and clean and shiny like some sci-fi would have you believe. It will be *****, cold, fraught with danger in the vast emptiness. Some will thrive, some will lose. Just like the “New World” explorers 300 years ago. There are no guarantees.

  Here's what happens next now that Warner Bros and Paramount are one company. In 6 months: Max and paramount + merge into a single platform. Subscribers get one app. Thousnads of employees get layoffs. The combined $57 billion debt starts driving every content decision. In 12 months: CNN gets sold or spun off. It has been on the table for years. The new company cannot afford to carry a struggling news network alongside a streaming war. In 2 years: The merged studio approaches Apple, Amazon, or a sovereign wealth fund for a capital injection. $57 billion in debt with streaming losses doesn't sustain itself. In 5 years: This merger either saves Hollywood's legacy studios or becomes the AOL Time Warner of the 2020s. There is no middle outcome.

  Before Broadband, There Was 3Com and U.S. Robotics On June 12, 1997, 3Com completed its $6.6 billion merger with U.S. Robotics, the largest deal the data networking industry had ever seen. At the time, it made obvious sense. 3Com was a major force in Ethernet cards, hubs, switches, and enterprise networking. U.S. Robotics was the great modem brand, helping millions of people get online through phone lines, patience, and that unforgettable dial-up screech that sounded like a fax machine losing an argument. The deal was also a snapshot of the internet before broadband became normal. Offices were being wired with Ethernet. Homes were dialing into the web. Remote workers connected through access servers. Getting online was still something you did deliberately, not something that surrounded you. U.S. Robotics was in the middle of the 56K modem wars, pushing its x2 technology against the Rockwell and Lucent K56flex camp before the V.90 standard settled the fight in 1998. Line quality, compression, compatibility, and a few extra kilobits decided whether the web felt useful or miserable. 3Com brought the LAN side. Ethernet cards in PCs. Hubs and switches in offices. Networks that turned standalone computers into connected organizations. Cisco was becoming the giant in the room, and the market was shifting from selling components to controlling the connectivity stack. The two halves of the deal aged very differently. The modem business was massive, then faded fast as dial-up gave way to cable, DSL, Wi-Fi, fiber, and mobile data. U.S. Robotics became a nostalgia trigger for anyone who remembers waiting for AOL to connect. Ethernet never went away. It moved from office LANs into data centers, carrier networks, industrial systems, cloud infrastructure, cars, and now AI clusters. Speeds, cables, and workloads all changed, and the core idea kept scaling. That is rare in tech. Most technologies age into museums. Ethernet aged into the backbone. Its future still looks strong, because AI data centers, cloud platforms, telecom networks, and edge computing all need more bandwidth, lower latency, and cheaper scale. The merger itself did not age as well. Dial-up was already on borrowed time. Palm, which came along with U.S. Robotics, was spun off in 2000 and briefly worth more than its parent. By that same year, 3Com had spun U.S. Robotics back out as an independent company. The biggest networking merger in history unwound in three years. Still, the deal marks a real turning point. Before broadband, before Wi-Fi everywhere, before smartphones and cloud and AI factories, the internet had to be stitched together one modem, one Ethernet card, and one phone line at a time. For a brief moment, 3Com and U.S. Robotics sat at the center of that transition.

  @NotPerrysBoobs @ElmWho I spent many hours trying to get it to work with the free aol cd's, but I never did. I think you might have needed to pay an additional fee or something.

  @AOL I have been a loyal customer for more than 26 years. My account is hacked and your people have left us on hold for 3 hours. No one is helping us and who knows what is happening to my account. #badcustomerservice

  As someone who experienced AOL chatrooms at 12 years old, I get that there should be restrictions and oversight. But I can’t help but feel like maybe there’s better ways to go about it than ID laws or outright bans that don’t consider whether or not a site is 100% adult-oriented.

  @GoldLoverXo I personally think history simply repeats itself. Just like in the .com bubble most of the early investors sold as they drop the price down through many different levels of manipulation. The big boys loaded up cheap as retail panic sold. Before the utility like Google, Yahoo,AOL.
